Tyndall on Lightning Rods.

Professor Tyndali, in a letter on light
ming conductors, points out that the
abolition Of resistance is absolutely neces-
sary in connecting lightning conductor
with the earth. and this is done by closely
imbedding in the earth plate of good
conducting material and of large area
The largeness of area makes atonement
for the imperfect conductivity Of earth.
The plate, in fact, constitutes wide door
through which the electricity passes
freely into the earth, its disruptive and
damaging effects being thereby avoided
4 common way of dealing with light
ming conductors adopted by ignorant
practitioners is, DIR. Tyndall remarks, to
carry the wire rope which forms part of
the conductor down the wall and into the
earth below, where it ends without any
terminal plate. Such protection" is a
mockery, Il delusion and snare. Some
years ago n rock lighthouse on the Irish
coast was struck by lightning, when he
found by the engineers report that the
down the lighthouse tower its lower eX-
tremity being carefully imbedded in n
stone perforated to receive it If the OBJ
iect had been To invite the lightning to
strike the tower, a better arrangement
could hardly, he believes, have been
adopted. He vetoed the proposal to EN-
ploy chain rs a prolongation of the CON
iuctOr, AS the contact of link with link is
never perfect.-Scientific American.

would be without meat or fish, and would
consist of tea. toast, eggs fruit and some
sort of pancakes and but er; but the tea
would be selected as carefully for the
breakfast as the wine would be for the
dinner He would brew it himself with
great care. He took the tea from the tea
caddy himself, placed it dry in a cup,

50 pies and 200 10 800 loaveS OF
